No, it calls vcvarsall.bat at expected, but the call to mt still fails.

Strangely, if I open a VS command prompt from the start menu, then mt 
definitely is working.  Ah... I see, that calls "C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat" which 
does set the paths correctly for the SDK tools, where as vcvarsall.bat 
only fixes up the compiler tools, not the SDK stuff it seems.

BTW the setup script sets the path to include for example:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86

But there's nothing in there.... mt.exe is located under (for example)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.16299.0\x86

Thanks, John.
